Save Our Cozies READathon

With the news that some of our favorite cozies getting the ax, we have banned together as readers, bloggers and even authors (who also read and blog) to come together for one day and read some of these book series that are in peril. There are many, which is sad. They span across many publishers. My hope is that these get picked up by other publishers so we can continue on our adventures with our favorite heroines, cats, dogs and continue to knit along as we help solve a mystery. We have so many things to still do with these characters. They are our family, friends and in some cases, characters we LOVE to hate. You know who you are.

I will be home reading and blogging most of the day tomorrow, Saturday the 16th as we pay homage to these artists of the pen. Below are some links you can follow. It’s going to be like a big family gathering via the internet and it will be amazing

Due to mergers among publishing companies, several beloved cozy mystery series have either been cancelled or are in danger of being cancelled. Depending upon an individual author’s contract, he or she may not even be able to self-publish or take the series to a new publisher. The Save Our Cozies Readathon seeks to:

Raise the reading public’s awareness of this issue across a range of social media platforms.

An online readathon is an online 24 hour event that brings together a community of readers and authors to participate in all things cozy. This includes reading, posting frequently on social media, visiting author’s websites, posting reviews, visiting book blogger’s websites, and/or participating in fun challenges/activities. The amount and type of participation is up to the individual.

I had purchased a some books from these series before I was even aware that they were being cancelled, which kind of devastated me even though I’m a new reader to these series! I can’t imagine how it would feel to the readers who have gotten to know these characters book after book.
